Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Once someone is caught, interrogation is easy.

The servants of the palace all knew the methods of the palace guards. The stable boy had already broken a leg and did not dare to resist at all, so he told everything.

There was a Wang Mazi in Ping'an Lane. In recent days, he had visited him and invited him to drink and go to the Flower House. He also heard that his mother was sick and sent him ten taels of silver.

It was just to inquire about a few trivial matters about the young master of the palace, and ask what the young master of the palace liked to do or eat. After inquiring, I gave him a hundred taels of silver. Of course, he quickly agreed.

He heard that the flowers in the garden had been changing frequently recently, so he went to Ah Fu for a drink. While he was drinking, he asked him about it. Ah Fu was not prepared and told him.

Seeing that this matter had something to do with his young master, he quickly told Wang Mazi.

Wang Mazi gave him one hundred taels of silver the next day and asked him to help him with something.

Ask him to mix a packet of medicinal powder into the flower soil when no one is paying attention.

So there was the incident where Murong Jiu just broke the flower pot and discovered the poison.

Ah Fu was the boy in the greenhouse. He cried and cried: "Princess, I really didn't know about it, and I didn't drink during the day. Today Niu Er came to see me, saying that I dropped something at his place. He was only allowed into the flower room when he was young!"

"It's your biggest mistake to let outsiders into the flower room! You're so confused!"

Butler Lin scolded.

Ah Fu's parents also came and knelt on the ground, not daring to plead with him.

Because they all knew that if the princess hadn't discovered it in time, even if Ah Fu had harmed his little master unintentionally, he would have died.

Fortunately, the young master is fine now, otherwise the couple would not have the face to meet the prince and princess.

Ah Fu knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake.

The punishment was deserved, otherwise the servants would be as unprepared as he was, and sooner or later there would be problems again.

However, Murong Jiu did not speak and asked people to take Ah Fu and Niu Er down.

Not long after, the guards brought Wang Mazi over.

Murong Jiu did not interrogate him personally, she just sat in the torture room and watched quietly.

Wang Mazi was just a rogue in the market. No matter how hard he was, he couldn't resist the palace's methods.

It didn't take long for him to use them all.

"It was the people from the princess's house who contacted the grassroots! The grassroots just collect money to do things for others!"

Murong Jiu stood up slowly, ignoring the screams of being tortured behind him, and walked out of the torture room with a cold face.

"I didn't expect the fifth princess to be so vicious. I thought she had restrained herself, but she was still..."

Hongyi was very scared.

So why not Murong Jiu?

If the poison provided by the fifth princess was a poison that would not hurt the flowers, then the stable boy would not have hidden the poison powder in the flower soil, but put the poison into the watering kettle in the greenhouse.

The flower house has to water and prune the branches every morning and evening. Once the petals are full of poison, Zhijin Zhiyu will be poisoned immediately.

In other words, the poisonous powder of the Fifth Princess is a little tasteless, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Suppose she didn't come over today, or someone from the greenhouse had sent it earlier, it would have had unpredictable consequences.

Her face was expressionless, but anyone who knew her well knew she was angry now.

What Hong Yi said just now was right, no one expected that the fifth princess would take action at this time.

Because the queen had just died and the fifth princess was banned, the second prince and she had to take care of themselves. The palace had relaxed its vigilance against the second prince and the princess, so that they could find an opportunity to take advantage of it. When something happened to the queen, it was a plan that was planned, but in the eyes of the second prince and the fifth princess, they would never think about their own faults, and would only blame everything on others.

So it is normal for them to resent themselves and Jun Yuyan.

What happened at this moment was just to catch the palace off guard.

Murong Jiu said to Hongyi: "Go and ask Zhou Li to come over. I have something to explain to him."

When Zhou Li arrived, she whispered a few words, and then called Yang Shan and Butler Lin to reorganize the guards and servants.

It is bound to turn the entire palace into an iron barrel with no loopholes to exploit.

That night, Jun Yuyan also returned to the palace, and Zhou Li came to report.

"Princess, seeing that the harm has failed, the Princess Mansion has stepped up its vigilance. However, Prince Consort Ruan Hongwen's subordinates have found something to exploit."

Prince Ling's Mansion already knew about Ruan Hongwen's secret attachment to the Third Prince. After the Queen's accident, he did not dare to return to the Princess Mansion for several days for fear of being implicated. He went back after seeing that the Fifth Princess did not suffer.

He is also a scheming person. While the fifth princess was in panic, he pretended to be deeply affectionate and willing to share the difficulties with her, thereby gaining more favor from the fifth princess. He even gave him a lot of power in the princess's palace, and he could give orders. The guards of the Princess Mansion have been moved.

The third prince didn't trust him very much, so he gave him a beauty named Hongxiu Tianxiang, who was actually for surveillance.

The beauty was tall and had learned boxing and kung fu, so she followed Ruan Hongwen as a servant.

Be his servant during the day and his bed warmer at night.

On the Prince Consort's side, because there was such a woman pretending to be a man, he did not dare to let the guards of the Princess Mansion protect him, and there were not many servants in the yard.

"If you want to kill the Fifth Princess, you can start from the Prince Consort."

The prince-in-law is going to see the fifth princess. When the time comes, he can get among the servants on the prince-son-in-law's side and kill him.

Murong Jiu shook his head and said: "I don't want her to die, I want her to live worse than death."

Jun Yuyan had the same thoughts as her. Anyone who wanted to harm their children would have to pay a heavy price.

He said to Zhou Li in a cold voice: "Tonight, the woman next to the consort will be stabbed to the fifth princess, and she will be caught and raped. Then someone will take advantage of the chaos to slash her face, cut off the tendons of her hands, and frame her for the third prince."

Let them go dog eat dog first.

Murong Jiu entered the inner room, took out a cigarette and gave it to Zhou Li, telling him how to use it. Zhou Li nodded repeatedly and went to do it immediately.

The purpose of this smoke was to make the consort and the young servant infatuated with each other, so that the fifth princess could better catch the adulterer.

The female servant knows kung fu and is said to be good at light kung fu. She may flee quickly when she hears any noise.

Murong Jiu thought very carefully.

Zhou Li is good at qinggong and is more suitable for doing these things.

Zhou Li was originally worried that the prince-in-law had already gone to the fifth princess's place. When he arrived at the princess's house, he found that the prince-in-law was pretending to be reading in the study, but in fact he was already having sex with the female servant on the bookshelf.

To make sure, he blew the smoke in, and after seeing the effect, he turned around and went to the Princess Palace.

"There is a strange noise coming from the Prince Consort's study, as if there is a woman. Should we tell Her Highness the Princess?"

He dressed as a guard of the princess palace and said to the maid in front of the palace.

When the maid heard this, she immediately turned around and ran into the palace without looking at his face carefully.

Zhou Li left quietly and went back to hide in the tall tree outside the Prince Consort's study.

The fifth princess arrived faster than he expected, angry and with a sinister look on her face, followed by many women and guards.
